car of the year idea....

**SandmanWs7** · 11-02-2007, 06:19 AM

COTY is a great idea. I can get with TSS and design a plaque to ship to the weener.

Also, COTY should be only up for COTM winners.

I can see both sides to the appearance/modified thing. "Car Of The Year" embodies "What is LS1.com for this year?", to me. I believe both should be considered, and both should be a basis for your vote. It's like when you vote for a public office candidate, it's their image and which one seems to fuck up less.

that's a good idea...ed can pay for it too! LOL

I guess somewhere in here cotm and coty got kinda crossed up. I was thinking coty should be judged a little differently than cotm. Coty should be the whole package. Car, pics, mods, and write up.

so as long as mr. lous/ ed or sarge don't qualify, then we all have a chance

I also think we should just show pics with numbers by them instead of identifying which car belongs to who. I mean I know some cars will automatically be recognized by members.. but it might help eliminate a little of the name-voting.

I think COTY is a great idea, and I agree with what was said about judging differently, like including a list of mods for COTY. I think appearance-only is fine for COTM.

To me when you vote for COTY it should be from the winners of COTM (12 in a full year). To see who had the best CAR OF THE YEAR. But thats just me.

I think each entry should get one(or 2) pics, and a predetermined amount of space to write a discription/mod list. And then we get to pick what one we like the best, period.

If we are going to nominate LS1.com's COTY you gotta go more than skin deep... COTY based on just looks?

Thats so...... ricer.........

Don't hate me for saying it, but that what I think.

x2 here........

COTY is a ricer award if you ask me.......looks only.....wow

i thought i was on ls1.com and not hothondas.com

even if it would include the whole package, still isnt right then.....if it wasnt a factor during the COTM....why include the whole package for COTY?

I mean consistency would be nice........if your looking for the whole package.....start with teh COTM...that way the people who face off for COTY are the BEST of the best.

See my point?

I agree on the number selection setup......eliminates favorites

Appererence only for one and not the other? Thats not fair, should be for the whole car for both COTM/COTY

I agree, the winner of each month goes against one and another. Makes sense to me.

I like the 12 month winners against each other. Wouldn't make sense to do it any other way.

COTY would be like "the" award to win. COTM is not as big an award.. and I think it would be a good idea to let members who aren't really modded but are still car enthusiasts (i.e.. car looks nice, kept clean, all that) to also have a shot at the monthly one.

They won't always win, but I think COTY should have a cosmetic aspect too. That way the winner will not only be the best looking, but be the favorite with looks AND performance. There would probably be only one car out of the 12 that made it to COTY choices that is totally stock anyway.

And on a sidenote.. I don't think someone who has a stock car but wants it to look nice is ricer. I see a ricer as someone that has a car that looks like ass, and thinks it's fast for no reason. Not to mention the cheap parts, and the shitty attitude.

Im saying its ricer-ish to look only for appearance only. Yah its cool to look for clean stock cars......but come on....a fully built race car looks more badass.....

they need different classes really.........look at car shows......everyone doesnt enter for one class and one class only......there are different ones for a reason!

Right but there are options and you can vote on whoever you want. I'm just sayin' not to leave out people who WANT to be involved just because they are new or can't afford to right now or whatever. By leaving COTM as it is.. it gives these people an actual chance to participate.

Different classes would be too complicated IMO... but, car shows are a good analogy, because also in those you just look at it, and sometimes people enter that aren't built race cars, and occasionally a barely modded car that looks nice will win

**djvaly** · 11-02-2007, 02:56 PM

I like the COTY idea. I think we should do it! selecting from the pool of 12 (monthly winners) for the specific year is a good idea too...

heres a way to clear it up and be easy......not trying to sound like a asshole

stock/appearance class
and
heavily modified/race car class

Right but then are there two cars of the year? And are we going to have enough people enter each month for both classes or is it going to be pretty much the same group each time? I mean if the forum can support it I think it would work out.. depending on how you did the COTY part.. but.. I dunno I don't think it would make that much of a difference on who wins.

me personally not in favor of that, since we look at pics and judge by looks, not hear their engine, look under the hood or show dyno charts and mod list.

for COTM... usually wheels, color of the car, quality of pic, angle, lighting, catback tips and a few cosmetic things set those cars apart not the internal mods.
